035 Hi Manu, it’s a pleasure to interview you. You are a purebred Ibizan, do you think that influences your sound? Hi guys, it’s a pleasure for me to do this interview! Being born and bred in Ibiza, and involved with the islan’s nightlife growth since I was 17 years old has definitely influenced my sound. I have it in my veins! I worked on the legendary vinyl record store Delta Discos since the age of 16 before I broke through as an international DJ and producer and that was my preparation for becoming a music selector (DJ). Your DJ sets have an old-school vibe that clubbers love, but you can also easily adapt to new trends, do you think that versatility is the key to your success? I think the key in my long career has been consistency. In all ways. Evolve, adapt and believe: make it with passion or don’t make it at all! What did it mean for your career to participate in NOW HERE last year? For me to be a regular at NOW HERE has been a dream. I have played many times with/for Paco but being part of his baby NOW HERE in Ibiza was really special for many reasons, not only because Paco is someone I look up to as a reference but also as someone who represents the island and the country. What Paco has achieved is unique and it’s an understatement to say I’m proud to be part of it. In your opinion, Manu, what makes NOW HERE different from other parties in Ibiza? NOW HERE is a vibe, it is the past, the present and the future mixed all together, it’s an opportunity, it’s life. NOW HERE is living in the moment. You need to experience it, the night is a journey and the energy is exploding! “Evolve, adapt and believe: make it with passion or don’t make it at all”. MANU GONZÁLEZ MANU GONZÁ Besides your participation in NOW HERE, what other plans do you have for this summer? This is the biggest season of my 17year career! I’m going to be playing for Paco at NOW HERE @ Hï Ibiza, also for ANTS at Ushuaia, DEFECTED records, El Row... Chinois with Luciano and friends. I will also be playing a huge open-air historic show at Ibiza port with Luciano and Franky Wah. Ibiza 2023 is such a great season for me. Away from the island, I will be playing in London, Madrid, Barcelona, Malta, Mexico, Chile, many places! Ibiza representation on fire! Thanks Fiesta&Bulshit and see you on the dance floor!
